Nasdaq Shift to Round-The-Clock Stock Trading Partly Due to Crypto, Says Exchange Executive
Stock and other traditional financial asset traders across the world are wanting to be able to buy and sell assets around the clock, resulting in two of the biggest stock markets in the U.S., Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) making moves to offer round-the-clock trading soon.
'We definitely see that this is where the markets are moving,' said Giang Bui, Nasdaq's head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products, speaking at the Digital Asset Summit in New York on Thursday. 'There's a lot of demand globally for U.S. stocks and people want to trade within the hours that they're typically awake, and I think a lot of it is because people are used to trading crypto 24/7.'
Both Nasdaq and the NYSE are in the process of receiving approval to open their venues 24 hours a day, for five or even seven days a week. Nasdaq recently announced that it had begun engaging with regulators about the change while the NYSE has already received the green light.
Round-the-clock trading can have several advantages for markets, including increased volume and market liquidity as traders aren't tied to specific time zones. Currently, the U.S. stock market opens for trading at 9:30 a.m. ET and closes at 4 p.m. ET.
'We're hearing it across the board from global broker dealers, clients who they're servicing, even within the U.S., there's a number of U.S. brokers that already are offering overnight trading because their customers are used to trading crypto in those hours,' Bui added.
Nasdaq lists a number of crypto-related products, including the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the spot ETF issued by BlackRock, which saw the most successful ETF debut in the history of U.S. ETF launches. Earlier today, the exchange listed two Solana (SOL) futures ETFs issued by Volatility Shares.

Jim Cramer on HEICO: 'I Like the Stock'
HEICO Corporation (NYSE:HEI) is one of the 12 stocks on Jim Cramer's radar recently. When a caller inquired about the company during the episode, Cramer commented: 'Oh man, that is an aerospace defense stock. That is such a good company. Look, I mean, it is reckless for me to say, don't sell any with that concentration that you have. So you will take some off tomorrow just because you're going to be a good soldier. But I gotta tell you, I like the stock. Is that a contradictory thing, what I just said? No, because discipline always trumps conviction. I have conviction that the stock will go up, but discipline says you gotta do some selling.' A fighter jet in formation, revealing the prowess of the companies defense arm.

Jim Cramer on lululemon: 'I Don't Understand LULU'
lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) is one of the 12 stocks on Jim Cramer's radar recently. When he asked about the company during the lightning round, Cramer commented: 'You know what… I did tell people that I thought it had bottomed, and I was dead wrong. And it's important to own up that I was wrong. I thought it had come down enough that perhaps it could have bounced, and I didn't get it right. So I'm going to punt and say I don't understand LULU. I got it wrong, and let's just move on.' A store employee in an athletic apparel store restocking merchandise. lululemon athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) designs and sells athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories for men and women. The company's products are made for activities such as yoga, running, and training. On June 6, Cramer expressed his shock over the company's recently reported quarter as he stated: 'I thought that LULU would do better. I thought that LULU would do better. I was quite surprised. I just, it was a bad conference call. It was a bad quarter. I am aghast to think that this could be… such a horrible situation. They had tariff problems. They had the wrong fashion. Everything went wrong for Calvin McDonald, and what can I say? I just don't think he's capable of being as bad as that stock was, 17 times earnings. It was a bad quarter, though. And you know… I've thought a lot about this, done a lot of soul searching, I am shocked at how they missed the quarter, and I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't some shakeups if that happened again.'
